the first quarter of 2004, there were no options granted. The fair value of
each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model.&#160; The following
weighted average assumptions were used for options granted for the three months
ended March 31, 2003: risk-free interest rates of 3.8%; expected lives of 7
years; expected volatility of 165%; and no dividends expected to be paid.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Basic earnings (loss) per
share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period.&#160; Diluted earnings (loss) per
share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and
includes the dilutive effect of unexercised stock options and warrants which
are in-the-money using the treasury stock method.&#160;&#160; Dilutive securities have not been included in the weighted
average shares used for the calculation of earnings per share in periods of net
loss because the effect of such securities would be anti-dilutive. At
March&nbsp;31, 2003 and 2004, potentially dilutive securities consisted of
options to purchase 5 thousand and 354 thousand shares of common stock,
respectively.&#160; In addition, the Company
issued 11.0 million warrants to purchase common stock in connection with its
debt refinancing described in Note 4.&#160;
These warrants are also potentially dilutive securities as of
March&nbsp;31, 2003 and 2004.</font></p>

the Company replaced its existing bank line with a $30.0 million senior secured
revolving credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of the
FleetBoston Financial Corporation.</font></p>

revolving credit facility is secured by the assets of the Company, principally
consisting of accounts receivable.&#160; The
credit facility has a three-year term and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% or
the bank&#146;s base rate plus 2.00%.</font></p>

Company and Fleet Capital Corporation executed four amendments to the revolving
credit agreement.&#160; These amendments were
required to waive events of default that occurred relative to the fixed charge
and tangible net worth covenants.&#160; Both
covenants were reset with tangible net worth reestablished at $2.8 million and
the fixed charge covenant reestablished at an allowable shortfall of $0.7
million through October&nbsp;1, 2002 and a ratio of 1:1, thereafter.&#160; In addition, the borrowing limit subject to
pledged accounts receivable as collateral was reduced to $28.0 million and
certain restrictions were placed on the amount of capital spending in
consideration for the waiver of existing financial loan covenants.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 2003, the Company and
Fleet Capital Corporation executed additional amendments to the revolving
credit agreement. The Fifth Amendment addressed the fact that the Company had
entered into litigation with a major customer, Bluecurrent.&#160; This action eliminated that account from the
Company&#146;s borrowing base creating a borrowing overadvance.&#160; The amendment allowed for an overadvance of
$2.0 million through December&nbsp;31, 2003.&#160;
In addition, the amendment waived the events of default relative to the
fixed charge and tangible net worth covenants that occurred at
December&nbsp;31, 2002.&#160; The tangible
net worth covenant was reset at ($1.0) million and the fixed charge shortfall was
set to $1.0 million through March&nbsp;31, 2003 and $1.4 million up through
June&nbsp;30, 2003 and a ratio of 1:1, thereafter.&#160; The Sixth Amendment eliminated the requirement that any amounts
received as a result of the settlement with Bluecurrent reduce the Wynnchurch
Capital Partners, L.P. guarantee as discussed below.&#160; The Seventh Amendment waived the events of default as of
June&nbsp;30, 2003 relating to the tangible net worth and fixed charge
covenants.&#160;&#160; Additionally, the covenants
were reset for the remainder of 2003 as follows; the tangible net worth covenant
was reset to ($5.0) million with the fixed charge covenant reset to an
allowable shortfall of $0.7 million for the three months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, and $1.0 million for the six months ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003. The fixed charge covenant will be 1:1, thereafter. In
addition, the interest rate was changed effective August&nbsp;1, 2003 from the
bank&#146;s base rate plus 1.00% to the base rate plus 2.00%. As of March&nbsp;31,
2004, the applicable rate is 6.00%, which represents the bank&#146;s base rate plus 2.00%.&#160; The Seventh Amendment also reduced the
maximum revolving credit commitment from $28.0 million to $23.0 million.&#160; The Eighth Amendment waived the events of
default as of September&nbsp;30, 2003 relating to the tangible net worth and
fixed charge covenants.&#160; Additionally,
the covenants were reset for future periods as follows: the tangible net worth
covenant was reset to ($8.5) million for the quarter ending December&nbsp;31,
2003 and each quarter thereafter.&#160; The
fixed charge covenant was reset to an allowable shortfall of $1.0 million for
the three months ending December&nbsp;31, 2003, $1.8 million for the six months
ended March&nbsp;31, 2004, and $1.9 million for the nine months ending
June&nbsp;30, 2004.&#160; The fixed charge
covenant will be 1:1, thereafter.&#160;
Capital expenditures will also be limited to $50,000 per quarter
commencing with the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2003.&#160; The Company was in compliance with its
covenants as of March&nbsp;31, 2004.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On January&nbsp;31, 2002,
$10.0 million principal amount of Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes was
sold to Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P., a private equity investor.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Senior Subordinated
Convertible Notes originally bore interest at 15% and are due January&nbsp;31,
2009. These notes were initially convertible into common stock anytime after
January&nbsp;31, 2002 at a conversion price of $2.50 per share. At the
Company&#146;s election, one-half of the interest could be deferred during the first
four years, subject to certain conditions. In conjunction with the sale of
these notes, the Company issued 10.0 million warrants to purchase shares of the
Company&#146;s common stock at $0.55 per share. An additional 1.0 million warrants
to purchase its common stock at $0.73 per share were not exercisable for one
year contingent upon the Company meeting certain performance measures, however,
the warrants would expire if such performance measures were met.&#160; As of December&nbsp;31, 2002, the Company
did not meet the specific performance measures related to the 1.0 million
contingent warrants and these warrants did not expire.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Throughout 2002, the
Company and Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. executed four amendments to the
securities purchase agreement. These amendments were required to waive events
of default that occurred relative to the fixed charge and tangible net worth
covenants.&#160; Both covenants were reset
with tangible net worth reestablished at $2.6 million and the fixed charge
covenant reestablished at an allowable shortfall of $0.7 million through October&nbsp;1,
2002 and a ratio of .95:1, thereafter.&#160;
In addition, the Company and Wynnchurch Capital, L.P. agreed to defer
all quarterly cash interest payments until the Company satisfied the covenants
with the senior lender, Fleet Capital Corporation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 2003, in connection
with an amendment to the Company&#146;s credit agreement with Fleet Capital
Corporation, Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. executed a guarantee with Fleet
Capital Corporation to allow overadvances of up to $2.0 million through
December&nbsp;31, 2003, reduced by any payments received from Bluecurrent.&#160; In consideration, Wynnchurch Capital
Partners, L.P. and the Company amended their agreements. The 15% Senior
Subordinated Convertible Notes conversion price was reduced from $2.50 to $1.50
per share of common stock.&#160; The exercise
price of all outstanding warrants was reduced to $0.26 per share.&#160; Additionally, a provision was made that any
draw on the guarantee by the Company could be satisfied with a purchase by
Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. of additional 15% Senior Subordinated
Convertible Notes having a principal amount equal to the Company&#146;s draw and
having terms equal to the outstanding 15% Senior Convertible Notes, and
provided for a $0.3 million fee to Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. in the event
of a draw upon their guarantee.&#160; The
$0.3 million fee would be payable through the issuance of additional 15% Senior
Subordinated Convertible Notes.&#160; As of
March&nbsp;31, 2004, the Company has not been required to draw on the
guarantee, and no additional Convertible Notes have been issued. In
July&nbsp;2003, Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. agreed to waive the agreed
requirement that their guarantee be reduced by any amounts received from
Bluecurrent. Consequently, Bluecurrent&#146;s initial payment of $0.9 million did
not reduce the $2.0 million guarantee. However, all subsequent payments from
Bluecurrent will continue to reduce the outstanding guarantee. In consideration
for this waiver, Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. received a fee of $0.1
million payable as interest and added to the principal amount of the
notes.&#160; Under the Sixth Amendment to the
securities purchase agreements, Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. waived the
events of default as of June&nbsp;30, 2003, relating to the tangible net worth
and fixed charge covenants.&#160;
Additionally, the covenants were reset for the remainder of 2003 as
follows;&#160; the tangible net worth
covenant was reset to ($5.2) million with the fixed charge covenant reset to an
allowable shortfall of $0.7 million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30,
2003 and $1.0 million for the six months ending December&nbsp;31, 2003.&#160; The fixed charge covenant will be 0.95:1
thereafter.&#160; In addition, the interest
rate of the Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes was changed effective
July&nbsp;1, 2003 from 15% to 16% per annum.&#160;
In September&nbsp;2003, Wynnchurch Capital Partners L.P. agreed to
maintain its $2.0 million guarantee and not to reduce such guarantee by any
payments received from Bluecurrent.&#160; In
consideration for maintaining the guarantee, the Company agreed to pay
Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. $0.3 million payable as additional interest
and added to the principal amount of the notes.&#160; The Company also executed a Seventh Amendment to the securities
purchase agreement that waived the events of default that occurred as of
September&nbsp;30, 2003 and reset the financial covenants for future
quarters.&#160; The covenants were reset for
future quarters as follows; the tangible net worth covenant was reset to ($8.9)
million for the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 and each quarter
thereafter.&#160; The fixed charge covenant
was reset to an allowable shortfall of $1.0 million for the three months ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003, $1.8 million for the six months ended March&nbsp;31,
2004, and $1.9 million for the nine months ended June&nbsp;30, 2004.&#160; The fixed charge covenant will be 0.95:1
thereafter.&#160; Capital expenditures will
also be limited to $52,500 per quarter commencing with the quarter ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003.&#160; In

This fee will be payable as additional interest and added to the principal
amount of the notes. On March&nbsp;29, 2004, a letter of agreement was executed
to maintain the $2.0 million guarantee until June&nbsp;30, 2004.&#160; The Company was in compliance with its
covenants as of March&nbsp;31, 2004.&#160;
Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. has waived compliance by the Company
with respect to the financial covenants through January&nbsp;1, 2005.&#160; Additionally, Wynnchurch Capital Partners,
L.P. has provided a commitment up to $5.0 million of additional financing,
should the need arise, on such terms as the Company, its Board of Directors and

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Due to the change in the
underlying terms of the Convertible Notes and Warrants, the original valuation
of the warrants was reassessed during the second quarter of 2003.&#160; The fair value ascribed to these warrants
was determined to be approximately $2.3 million prior to the price change and
$2.4 million subsequent to the price change.&#160;
This change in value ascribed to the price change of approximately
$69,000 was amortized over the seven-month life of the guarantee as a non-cash
interest charge.&#160; The valuation of the
warrants was determined based on advice from a third-party valuation specialist
who utilized a valuation model with the following inputs: measurement date of
April&nbsp;14, 2003; fair value of $0.23; exercise price of $0.55 prior to the
price change ($0.73 for contingent warrants) and $0.26 subsequent to the price
change; contractual term of 10 years from the original issue date; dividend
rate of zero; volatility rate of 123.5%; and risk-free interest rate of 3.76%.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During the third quarter
of 2003, the Company concluded that the change in interest rate combined with
the change in conversion price of the convertible notes in the second quarter
of 2003 met the criteria of an extinguishment of debt per EITF 96-19 &#147;Debtors
Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,&#148; as the change
in the present value of the notes exceeded the present value prior to the
modifications by more than 10%.&#160; The
valuation of the notes was determined based on advice from a third-party
valuation specialist who utilized a valuation model.&#160; Based on the results, the fair value of the notes was determined
to be $13.2 million versus the carrying value of $9.7 million.&#160; As such, a $3.5 million charge was
recognized for the modification of debt to recognize the fair value of the
notes in the financial statements.&#160;
Additionally, origination fees of $0.9 million related to these notes
and $0.1 million related to the revolving credit commitment were written off
due to the modifications.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The portion of the charge
related to real estate costs, which totaled $4.3&nbsp;million, relates to lease
costs associated with decreased requirements for office space as the Company
restructured its service delivery organization. The costs associated with this
charge related primarily to the value of ongoing lease obligations for vacated
offices, net of anticipated sublease income. A portion of the charge also
related to broker commissions and estimated leasehold improvement costs
necessary to sublease vacated offices.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During the third quarter
of 2003, the Company reassessed its 2002 restructuring accrual
requirements.&#160; Based on this review, the
Company determined the remaining reserve was overstated by $0.6 million due to
various real estate cost assumptions made versus actual activity.&#160; The majority of this adjustment relates to
the successful early termination negotiated on the lease of the Company&#146;s

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Net cash used in
investing activities was approximately $0.1 million in both of the quarters
ended March&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003. Beginning with the quarter ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003, the Company has been restricted by its credit agreement
to capital spending of $50,000 per quarter.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On January&nbsp;31, 2002,
the Company replaced its existing bank line with a $30.0 million senior secured
revolving credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of the
FleetBoston Financial Corporation.&#160;
Additionally, $10.0 million principal amount of Senior Subordinated
Convertible Notes was sold to Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P., a private equity
investor.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The $30.0 million
revolving credit facility is secured by the assets of the Company, principally
consisting of accounts receivable.&#160; The
credit facility has a three-year term and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% or
the bank&#146;s base rate plus 2.00%.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Throughout 2002, the
Company and Fleet Capital Corporation executed four amendments to the revolving
credit agreement.&#160; These amendments were
required to waive events of default that occurred relative to the fixed charge
and tangible net worth covenants.&#160; Both
covenants were reset with tangible net worth reestablished at $2.8 million and
the fixed charge covenant reestablished at an allowable shortfall of $0.7
million through October&nbsp;1, 2002 and a ratio of 1:1, thereafter.&#160; In addition, the borrowing limit subject to
pledged accounts receivable as collateral was reduced to $28.0 million and
certain restrictions were placed on the amount of capital spending in
consideration for the waiver of existing financial loan covenants.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 2003, the Company and
Fleet Capital Corporation executed additional amendments to the revolving
credit agreement. The Fifth Amendment addressed the fact that the Company had
entered into litigation with a major customer, Bluecurrent.&#160; This action eliminated that account from the
Company&#146;s borrowing base creating a borrowing overadvance.&#160; The amendment allowed for an overadvance of
$2.0 million through December&nbsp;31, 2003.&#160;
In addition, the amendment waived the events of default relative to the
fixed charge and tangible net worth covenants that occurred at
December&nbsp;31, 2002.&#160; The tangible
net worth covenant was reset at ($1.0) million and the fixed charge shortfall
was set to $1.0 million through March&nbsp;31, 2003 and $1.4 million up through
June&nbsp;30, 2003 and a ratio of 1:1, thereafter.&#160; The Sixth Amendment eliminated the requirement that any amounts
received as a result of the settlement with Bluecurrent reduce the Wynnchurch
Capital Partners, L.P. guarantee as discussed below.&#160; The Seventh Amendment waived the events of default as of
June&nbsp;30, 2003 relating to the tangible net worth and fixed charge
covenants.&#160;&#160; Additionally, the covenants
were reset for the remainder of 2003 as follows; the tangible net worth
covenant was reset to ($5.0) million with the fixed charge covenant reset to an
allowable shortfall of $0.7 million for the three months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2003, and $1.0 million for the six months ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003. The fixed charge covenant will be 1:1, thereafter. In
addition, the interest rate was changed effective August&nbsp;1, 2003 from the
bank&#146;s base rate plus 1.00% to the base rate plus 2.00%. As of March&nbsp;31,
2004, the applicable rate is 6.00%, which represents the bank&#146;s base rate plus
2.00%.&#160; The Seventh Amendment also
reduced the maximum revolving credit commitment from $28.0 million to $23.0
million.&#160; The Eighth Amendment waived
the events of default as of September&nbsp;30, 2003 relating to the tangible
net worth and fixed charge covenants.&#160;
Additionally, the covenants were reset for future periods as follows:
the tangible net worth covenant was reset to ($8.5) million for the quarter
ending December&nbsp;31, 2003 and each quarter thereafter.&#160; The fixed charge covenant was reset to an
allowable shortfall of $1.0 million for the three months ending
December&nbsp;31, 2003, $1.8 million for the six months ended March&nbsp;31,
2004, and $1.9 million for the nine months ending June&nbsp;30, 2004.&#160; The fixed charge covenant will be 1:1,
thereafter.&#160; Capital expenditures will
also be limited to $50,000 per quarter commencing with the quarter ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003.&#160; The Company was
in compliance with its covenants as of March&nbsp;31, 2004.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Senior Subordinated
Convertible Notes originally bore interest at 15% and are due January&nbsp;31,
2009. These notes were initially convertible into common stock anytime after
January&nbsp;31, 2002 at a conversion price of $2.50 per share. At the
Company&#146;s election, one-half of the interest could be deferred during the first
four years, subject to certain conditions. In conjunction with the sale of
these notes, the Company issued 10.0 million warrants to purchase shares of the
Company&#146;s common stock at $0.55 per share. An additional 1.0 million warrants
to purchase its common stock at $0.73 per share were not exercisable for one
year contingent upon the Company meeting certain performance measures, however,
the warrants would expire if such performance measures were met.&#160; As of December&nbsp;31, 2002, the Company
did not meet the specific performance measures related to the 1.0 million
contingent warrants and these warrants did not expire.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Throughout 2002, the
Company and Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. executed four amendments to the
securities purchase agreement. These amendments were required to waive events
of default that occurred relative to the fixed charge and tangible net worth
covenants.&#160; Both covenants were reset
with tangible net worth reestablished at $2.6 million and the fixed charge
covenant reestablished at an allowable shortfall of $0.7 million through October&nbsp;1,
2002 and a ratio of .95:1, thereafter.&#160;
In addition, the Company and Wynnchurch Capital, L.P. agreed to defer
all quarterly cash interest payments until the Company satisfied the covenants
with the senior lender, Fleet Capital Corporation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In 2003, in connection
with an amendment to the Company&#146;s credit agreement with Fleet Capital
Corporation, Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. executed a guarantee with Fleet
Capital Corporation to allow overadvances of up to $2.0 million through
December&nbsp;31, 2003, reduced by any payments received from Bluecurrent.&#160; In consideration, Wynnchurch Capital
Partners, L.P. and the Company amended their agreements. The 15% Senior
Subordinated Convertible Notes conversion price was reduced from $2.50 to $1.50
per share of common stock.&#160; The exercise
price of all outstanding warrants was reduced to $0.26 per share.&#160; Additionally, a provision was made that any
draw on the guarantee by the Company could be satisfied with a purchase by
Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. of additional 15% Senior Subordinated
Convertible Notes having a principal amount equal to the Company&#146;s draw and
having terms equal to the outstanding 15% Senior Convertible Notes, and
provided for a $0.3 million fee to Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. in the event
of a draw upon their guarantee.&#160; The
$0.3 million fee would be payable through the issuance of additional 15% Senior
Subordinated Convertible Notes.&#160; As of
March&nbsp;31, 2004, the Company has not been required to draw on the
guarantee, and no additional Convertible Notes have been issued. In
July&nbsp;2003, Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. agreed to waive the agreed
requirement that their guarantee be reduced by any amounts received from
Bluecurrent. Consequently, Bluecurrent&#146;s initial payment of $0.9 million did not
reduce the $2.0 million guarantee. However, all subsequent payments from
Bluecurrent will continue to reduce the outstanding guarantee. In consideration
for this waiver, Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. received a fee of $0.1
million payable as interest and added to the principal amount of the
notes.&#160; Under the Sixth Amendment to the
securities purchase agreements, Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. waived the
events of default as of June&nbsp;30, 2003, relating to the tangible net worth
and fixed charge covenants.&#160;
Additionally, the covenants were reset for the remainder of 2003 as
follows;&#160; the tangible net worth
covenant was reset to ($5.2) million with the fixed charge covenant reset to an
allowable shortfall of $0.7 million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30,
2003 and $1.0 million for the six months ending December&nbsp;31, 2003.&#160; The fixed charge covenant will be 0.95:1
thereafter.&#160; In addition, the interest
rate of the Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes was changed effective
July&nbsp;1, 2003 from 15% to 16% per annum.&#160;
In September&nbsp;2003, Wynnchurch Capital Partners L.P. agreed to
maintain its $2.0 million guarantee and not to reduce such guarantee by any
payments received from Bluecurrent.&#160; In
consideration for maintaining the guarantee, the Company agreed to pay
Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. $0.3 million payable as additional interest
and added to the principal amount of the notes.&#160; The Company also executed a Seventh Amendment to the securities
purchase agreement that waived the events of default that occurred as of
September&nbsp;30, 2003 and reset the financial covenants for future
quarters.&#160; The covenants were reset for
future quarters as follows; the tangible net worth covenant was reset to ($8.9)
million for the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 and each quarter
thereafter.&#160; The fixed charge covenant
was reset to an allowable shortfall of $1.0 million for the three months ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003, $1.8 million for the six months ended March&nbsp;31,
2004, and $1.9 million for the nine months ended June&nbsp;30, 2004.&#160; The fixed charge covenant will be 0.95:1
thereafter.&#160; Capital expenditures will
also be limited to $52,500 per quarter commencing with the quarter ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003.&#160; In
consideration for this waiver and for continuing to maintain the $2.0 million
guarantee, Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. will receive a monthly fee of
$30,000 for each month such guarantee is in effect.&#160; This fee will be</font></p>

interest and added to the principal amount of the notes. On March&nbsp;29,
2004, a letter of agreement was executed to maintain the $2.0 million guarantee
until June&nbsp;30, 2004.&#160; The Company
was in compliance with its covenants as of March&nbsp;31, 2004.&#160; Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. has waived
compliance by the Company with respect to the financial covenants through
January&nbsp;1, 2005.&#160; Additionally,
Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. has provided a commitment up to $5.0 million
of additional financing, should the need arise, on such terms as the Company,
its Board of Directors and Wynnchurch Capital Partners, L.P. may agree.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Due to the change in the
underlying terms of the Convertible Notes and Warrants, the original valuation
of the warrants was reassessed during the second quarter of 2003.&#160; The fair value ascribed to these warrants
was determined to be approximately $2.3 million prior to the price change and
$2.4 million subsequent to the price change.&#160;
This change in value ascribed to the price change of approximately
$69,000 was amortized over the seven-month life of the guarantee as a non-cash
interest charge.&#160; The valuation of the
warrants was determined based on advice from a third-party valuation specialist
who utilized a valuation model with the following inputs: measurement date of
April&nbsp;14, 2003; fair value of $0.23; exercise price of $0.55 prior to the
price change ($0.73 for contingent warrants) and $0.26 subsequent to the price
change; contractual term of 10 years from the original issue date; dividend
rate of zero; volatility rate of 123.5%; and risk-free interest rate of 3.76%.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During the third quarter
of 2003, the Company concluded that the change in interest rate combined with
the change in conversion price of the convertible notes in the second quarter
of 2003 met the criteria of an extinguishment of debt per EITF 96-19 &#147;Debtors
Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,&#148; as the change
in the present value of the notes exceeded the present value prior to the
modifications by more than 10%.&#160; The
valuation of the notes was determined based on advice from a third-party
valuation specialist who utilized a valuation model.&#160; Based on the results, the fair value of the notes was determined
to be $13.2 million versus the carrying value of $9.7 million.&#160; As such, a $3.5 million charge was
recognized for the modification of debt to recognize the fair value of the
notes in the financial statements.&#160;
Additionally, origination fees of $0.9 million related to these notes
and $0.1 million related to the revolving credit commitment were written off
due to the modifications.</font></p>

2004, the Company has three irrevocable standby letters of credit for $1.8
million, which expire as follows:&#160; $0.5
million on November&nbsp;1, 2004, $0.5 million on November&nbsp;15, 2004, and $0.8

anticipates its cash balances and funds from operations, together with funds
available under its credit facility will be sufficient to meet all of its
anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.&#160; Additionally, Wynnchurch Capital Partners,
L.P. has provided a commitment up to $5.0 million of additional financing,
should the need arise, on such terms as the Company, its Board of Directors,
and Wynnchurch Capital, L.P. may agree.&#160;
General economic and industry conditions could impact the Company&#146;s
ability to meet anticipated cash requirements.&#160;
Since the existing credit facility is secured by the assets of the
Company, principally consisting of accounts receivable, these uncertainties may
directly impact the availability of this credit facility.&#160; Additionally, the Company&#146;s ability to
successfully meet debt covenants in future periods is a significant risk
factor.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company&#146;s
consolidated financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used, and the estimates and assumptions
made by management.&#160; The most
significant accounting policies and management estimates that affect the
presentation of the consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition,
allowance for doubtful accounts, analysis of goodwill impairment and valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company recognizes
revenues as services are performed, utilizing four different billing
methodologies, as follows:&#160; (1) time and
material billing, whereby the client is billed by the hour on a weekly basis
for past services performed; (2) project-based billing, for which fees are
fixed and are based on specific contracts; (3) per-incident billing, whereby
the Company charges a fee for each specific task related to certain services;
and (4) fee-based billing, which is used for candidate placement/recruiting
fees and vendor management fees.&#160;&#160; The
Company typically provides discounts on staffing services to its largest
clients in exchange for the opportunity to sell more volume, as well as the
opportunity to sell its higher-margin, value-added services.&#160; All revenues are recognized net of such
discounts and after services have been completed.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company </font>performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the
customers&#146; current credit worthiness.&#160;
The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its
customer base and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon
historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have
been identified.&#160; The Company
specifically reviews outstanding account balances that are overdue 90 days or
more in making its assessment of the provision for bad debts in each
period.&#160; While the Company has
historically had sufficient coverage of allowances for credit losses, it cannot
guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as in
past periods.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On January&nbsp;1, 2002,
the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets&#148; (&#147;SFAS
142&#148;).&#160; This Statement dictates that
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives should be tested
for impairment at least annually, instead of being amortized on an ongoing
basis.&#160; The Company has terminated its
policy of amortizing goodwill on a monthly basis and performs an annual
analysis of goodwill impairment on December 31, or upon the occurrence of
circumstances which could indicate impairment, using the discounted future cash
flows methodology in determining fair value.</font></p>

Deferred Tax Assets</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company records a
valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that it
believes is more likely than not to be realized.&#160; A valuation allowance was established for the net deferred tax
asset given the uncertainty with respect to the future realization of deferred
tax assets.&#160; This valuation allowance is
required given that the net operating losses have no remaining carryback
potential and the lack of ability to accurately forecast taxable income over
the 20 year net operating loss carryforward period.&#160; When a valuation allowance is deemed necessary, the Company
records an adjustment to the deferred tax asset, with a corresponding charge to
the statement of operations.&#160; In the
event that the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred
tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to
the deferred tax assets would increase income, or reduce a net loss, in the
period such determination was made.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#160;The market risk that the Company is exposed
to primarily relates to changes in interest rates on its borrowings. At
March&nbsp;31, 2004, the Company had $12.4 million in floating-rate debt. An
adverse change in interest rates during any period that the loan is outstanding
would cause an increase in interest expense. A 100 basis point increase in the
bank&#146;s base rate would increase the annual amount of interest paid by $0.1
million.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:22.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company issued
warrants on January&nbsp;31, 2002, which are classified as derivative financial
instruments pursuant to SFAS 133, &#147;Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Certain Hedging Activities,&#148; which was adopted by the Company on
January&nbsp;1, 2001.&#160; Pursuant to SFAS
No. 133 and interpretations by the Emerging Issues Task Force covering
derivative financial instruments, these warrants meet the criteria for equity
classification on the measurement date of January&nbsp;31, 2002 and the Company
is not required to remeasure the warrants on subsequent dates.&#160; As such, there is no mark-to-market adjustment
which will be reflected in the statement of operations as unrealized gains or
losses as a result of changes in fair value of these warrants in periods
subsequent to the measurement date.&#160;
There is no equity price risk associated with changes in fair value of
the warrants.&#160; The Company does not have
any derivative financial instruments other than the warrants.</font></p>
